Kim Kardashian Reveals She Paid for Her Engagement Ring From Kris Humphries

12 March 2025 at 21:00

Kim Kardashian offered a surprising revelation about how much her ex husband Kris Humphries paid for her engagement ring — and it allegedly was less than half.

During the Thursday, March 13, episode of The Kardashians, Kim, 44, reflected on each ring she received from her three respective marriages.

“Khloé [Kardashian], should I just start wearing my diamonds again? I wonder what my next ring shape will be — of my last and final hoorah,” Kim quipped. “The first one [from Damon Thomas] was a cushion cut that was 14 carats.”

Kim married Thomas, now 54, when she was 19 and they divorced before her debut on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007. The duo, who had a 10-year age difference, were married for three years until they called it quits in 2003.

“The second I had to give Kris [Humphries] and it was 18 carats,” she continued on Thursday. “I didn’t keep it. I was pregnant with North, still married to him and in order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring in the divorce. The ring that I bought. He contributed a fifth [of the cost].”

Kim got engaged to Humphries, now 40, in 2011 following a whirlwind romance. Kim and Humphries tied the knot in 2011 but split after 72 days of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in April 2013 following a lengthy court battle.

“That whole situation was just really hard for me,” Kim said of her relationship with Humphries during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in 2017. “At the time I just thought, ‘Holy s—, I’m 30 years old, I better get this together. I better get married.’ I think a lot of girls do go through that, where they freak out thinking they’re getting old and all their friends are having kids. So, it was more of that situation. But I knew on the honeymoon it wasn’t going to work out.”

Kim moved on with Kanye West and the pair welcomed daughter North before getting married in 2014. They later expanded their family with son Saint in 2015, daughter Chicago in 2018 and son Psalm in 2019. In February 2021, Kim filed for divorce after nearly seven years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in November 2022.

“But my first one that I got engaged with [during my third marriage], that was the only piece of jewelry I owned that I didn’t take to Paris,” Kim explained in reference to her 2016 robbery. “[At one point I] wore both [of my engagement rings] and Kanye told me, ‘Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?'”

Kim noted that her plan was to give North her engagement ring from West, 47. Kim previously opened up about how she wasn’t ruling out another marriage. (The reality star was linked to Pete Davidson and Odell Beckham Jr. after her third divorce.)

“I think I am definitely going to be really cautious because I maybe have proven that I am not the best at [marriage]. And I don’t want to make that mistake again,” Kim said during the June 2022 episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna. “Sometimes I think, ‘Should I just be in one of those relationships like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell [who are together but not married]?’ It seems to be working out for them.”

Kim Kardashian Thought India Was Like ‘Aladdin’ Instead of 'The Streets'

12 March 2025 at 21:00

Kim Kardashian‘s desire to live out her Princess Jasmine dreams didn’t turn out as planned when she realized India isn’t exactly like the Disney movie Aladdin.

During the Thursday, March 13, episode of The Kardashians, Kim, 44, and Khloé Kardashian traveled to Mumbai, India, for the wedding of billionaire heir Anant Ambani and his now-wife Radhika Merchant. Kim and Khloé, 40, found time to explore India before the six-day event, which took place in July 2024.

Their plans got off to a rough start when a dog approached Kim. “I don’t do random dogs,” she told Khloé, who was more friendly to the animal. Khloé subsequently pointed out some kittens, which Kim was more excited to walk by.

The stroll itself surprised Kim and Khloé, who were used to being driven around in Los Angeles.

“I thought it was going to be like the marketplace,” Kim said in a confessional. “This is like the streets.”

She continued: “What you see Aladdin going through and stealing the bread from. That is where I thought we were going.”

Kim and Khloé were able to make the most of their walk by buying some gifts for their family. They had to step into a jewelry store after getting caught in some rain, since July is usually “monsoon season” in India. At the store, Kim and Khloé purchased silver pill boxes “to put by” their beds for everyone in the family.

In a post-credits scene, Kim elaborated on her love for Disney movies, adding, “I just feel like Princess Jasmine. This is where I am meant to be.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Kourtney Kardashian took part in the Run Travis Run 5K in support of husband Travis Barker. While Barker, 49, ran most of the way, Kourtney, 45, opted to speed walk instead.

Kris Jenner was featured on The Kardashians as well, weeks after her sister Karen Houghton died at age 65. Houghton died in March 2024 from cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac arrhythmia. Type 2 diabetes served as a secondary underlying cause.

Who Is Karen Houghton? What to Know About Kris Jenner’s Late Younger Sister

Kris, 69, refused to elaborate on her sister’s passing when asked by producers. She previously honored her sister in an emotional post.

“It is with the heaviest heart and deepest sadness that I share that my sister Karen passed away yesterday unexpectedly. My heart aches for my mom MJ and my niece Natalie and I pray that God guides us all through this difficult time,” she wrote via Instagram. “Karen was beautiful inside and out. She was the sweetest, kindest, the most sensitive and vulnerable and so so funny.”

She added: “She always felt grateful and thankful for her life and treasured her family and friends and especially her beautiful daughter. She holds such a huge part of my heart and I cherish every single memory we have together. Karen’s passing is a reminder that life is so short and precious and tomorrow is never promised. We must tell those we cherish how much we love them. I love you my beautiful sister.”

'Snow White' Actor Disappointed Premiere Is Being Scaled Back 

12 March 2025 at 20:24

Snow White actor Martin Klebba is disappointed that Disney has decided to scale back the film’s big premiere.

Klebba, who voices Grumpy in the live-action adaptation of the animated classic, told TMZ on Wednesday, March 12, that “he’s seriously bummed and a bit pissed Disney axed what should’ve been a massive premiere for such a major film.”

While the Snow White premiere will take place on Saturday, March 15, at Los Angeles’ El Capitan Theatre, it won’t be a typical red-carpet event. As Variety reported Tuesday, the press won’t be present for interviews with stars Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler, the film’s leading ladies, and the event will instead be limited to photographers and house crew. (Us Weekly has reached out to Disney for comment.)

Zegler, 23, plays the titular princess in the film, and Gadot, 39, portrays the Evil Queen. Klebba, meanwhile, is among the actors lending their voices to motion-captured versions of the Seven Dwarves, taking on the role of Grumpy. (Klebba, 55, has a form of dwarfism called acromicric dysplasia.)

Why Are People Mad About 'Snow White'? The Controversy Explained

Reasons for the scaled-back premiere have not been confirmed, but the latest Snow White iteration has generated various controversies since the production began four years ago. In a January 2022 interview on Marc Maron‘s “WTF” podcast, actor Peter Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia, opined: “You’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that f—ing backward story about seven dwarves living in a cave together. What the f— are you doing, man?”

After Dinklage’s feedback, Disney released a statement saying, “To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.”

According to TMZ, Klebba claimed that “as far as he knows, motion-capture was always the plan and was not a knee-jerk reaction” to Dinklage’s comments.  

The outlet reported, however, that Klebba noted how “it’s unbelievably difficult for Little People to land Hollywood roles, let alone lead ones, so this could have been a bigger opportunity for others.”

Rachel Zegler Views Live-Action 'Snow White' Backlash as 'Passion'

Zegler, meanwhile, garnered pushback from critics in 2023 when she called the 1937 original “dated” because the prince “literally stalks Snow White,” telling Variety in an interview at the time, “She’s not going to be saved by the prince. She’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.”

During an interview for the March 2025 issue of Vogue Mexico, Zegler addressed the public’s response to the reinterpretation of Snow White. “I interpret people’s sentiments towards this film as passion,” she said, per translations. “What an honor to be a part of something that people feel so passionately about. We’re not always going to agree with everyone who surrounds us and all we can do is our best.”

Harry Jowsey Is 'Very Into' Lucy Hale After 'Initiating' Their New Romance

12 March 2025 at 20:00

Lucy Hale and Harry Jowsey are “having fun” dating, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. 

“They are spending time together in [New York City] and it’s very new,” the insider shares, adding that Jowsey, 27, “initiated things” with Hale, 35, after sending her a DM on Instagram.

The source notes that the pair’s mutual sobriety is what caused them to initially “hit it off.” The Pretty Little Liars alum, the insider says, has been “very supportive toward” Jowsey and “his decision” to cut out alcohol.

“It’s casual and they are having fun, but Harry is very into Lucy,” the source continues. “Friends around them think they are very cute and are a good, yet surprising match.”

Lucy Hale's Most Candid Quotes About Sobriety and Quitting Drinking

Hale first opened up about her efforts to get sober in February 2023, when she revealed via Instagram that she was celebrating one year of sobriety. She opened up about the journey further while on an episode of “The Diary of a CEO” podcast later that month.

“I have been working on getting sober since I was 20. I’m 33. It takes time. It took time. It took patience with myself,” she shared, admitting she thought the “real Lucy” came out when she drank which eventually became “exhausting.”

While speaking to People in September 2023, Hale, who was 32 at the time and first began drinking at the age of 18, recalled her “rock bottom” moment with alcohol, claiming that she would have “lost everything” she “cared about” had she continued on “the path” of alcohol dependency.

“It was the scariest choice in my life, but also it’s been the best gift,” she explained. “When I made that change, everything else changed. My whole life has changed.”

She continued, “I definitely had to go through my own process of getting sober.  took many, many, many years, many relapses, many dark moments, many falling on my face quite literally, but figuratively as well, to figure out what was working in my life, finding out why I was drinking, because removing alcohol is just one part of it.”

In January, Hale revealed that she is officially three years sober.

“Since then, I’ve experienced moments that can only be described as pure miracles and magic. I am deeply grateful every day — for the people who have been guiding lights, for a power greater than myself that loves me unconditionally, and for my own perseverance in not giving up,” she wrote via Instagram to mark the major milestone. “To all of you who have supported my journey, I have felt your love and it means everything to me.”

Jowsey, for his part, first opened up about his desire to get sober in 2022. He told Newsweek at the time that he wanted to “realign my goals and focus on the man that I want to be in five years” after realizing that alcohol had become a reward system.

“I took a step back thought I could go down that path and I could go so badly into it, or I could just say, ‘This isn’t going to define me,’” he said. “I want to be focused and get my health and my career to everything it can be.”

In January, the Too Hot to Handle star took to Instagram to again declare his desire to get sober, sharing that he had been “peeing the bed” too often.

“There’s been too many nights where I’ve got a little bit too drunk and accidentally peed the bed,” he said in an Instagram video. “I’ve made a sausage of myself. That’s why this year I am declaring a sober 2025.”

Anthony Mackie Says Eminem Pulled From His Real Life for ‘8 Mile’ Rap Battle 

12 March 2025 at 18:36

Anthony Mackie didn’t lose himself while filming the final 8 Mile rap battle against Eminem — but he did he recall things getting very personal.

“We’re doing the movie and, you know, Eminem is just such a brilliant dude,” Mackie, 46, recalled during the Tuesday, March 11, episode of “The Pivot” podcast. “We’re on set one day and he’s like, ‘Yo, it don’t make sense that we beefing.’ And I was like, ‘Right?’ And he’s like, ‘I need something on you.’”

Mackie portrayed Papa Doc in the 2002 drama, the leader of the Free World rap group who ultimately loses to Eminem’s B-Rabbit in an epic final rap showdown. During B-Rabbit’s verses, he claims Papa Doc’s real name is Clarence, he went to a private school and that his parents are still married. According to Mackie, some of the shots were toward him personally, and had “nothing to do” with his character.

“So we talk for, like, two hours, chilling. I go to the casino. The next day, we’re shooting the battle scene, and that’s why I’m standing there like, ‘You’re talking about me. You’re not talking about Clarence!” Mackie recalled, adding that his character’s frustrated facial expressions were his natural reaction to Eminem’s lyrics.

Yes, Eminem’s New Song Really Is Seemingly an Ode to Tobey Maguire

“You’re an a——, Eminem!” he joked. “I’m like, ‘I’m gonna fight this mother f———!’ I’m like, ‘Yes my parents are still married!’”

8 Mile marked both Mackie and Eminem’s feature film debuts. The Marvel star previously opened up about shooting the movie during a 2021 episode of The Rich Eisen Show, claiming that Eminem originally promised his raps would only include “character stuff.”

“There was this one day, we were sitting on the set and Eminem comes over and he’s like ‘What’s up man, I was reading a script and there is no reason for me not to like you, you are cool dude, I like you,’” Mackie recalled. “And then I said, ‘I like you too,’ and then he was like, ‘Cool, so you don’t mind if I add some stuff in the script about you?’ I was like, ‘About me or the character?’ He’s like ‘No, no just some character stuff’. I’m like, ‘Yeah no problem.’”

The actor claimed, “So before the entire 8 Mile final battle, he googles me and learns about me and all that stuff he basically makes fun of me as Papa Doc.”. And then I’m like, ‘That’s a little personal Mr. Marshall. … I grew up in a nice house, my parents were nice to me, why are you making fun of me?’”

Us Weekly has reached out to Eminem for comment.

Eight years after his portrayal of Papa Doc, Mackie took on the role of Tupac Shakur in 2009’s Notorious. The Captain America star has credited his time in Juilliard’s drama division — from which he graduated in 2001 — for his rapping skills and versatility as an actor.

“The idea of approaching a rapper from the perspective of an actor, you’re really just speaking in poems. I always said, one of the greatest rappers [who] ever lived was Shakespeare,” Mackie said during a 2021 episode of Hot Ones. “If I didn’t have my training, I wouldn’t be able to play Tupac, Martin Luther King, Papa Doc, Falcon. The training is just something that gives you an extra layer to stand on.”

GMA's Ginger Zee Claps Back After Troll Says She's Not 'Aging Well' 

12 March 2025 at 18:19

Good Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee is clapping back after an internet troll took a dig at her looks. 

It all started on Tuesday, March 11, when Zee, 44,  posted a weather report via Instagram. When a troll commented, “You’re not aging well,” Zee was quick to snap back.  “What a privilege to be aging in any manner — thanks for your opinion though,” she replied. 

Zee then took a screenshot of the exchange and shared it via her Instagram grid and Threads account, writing, “You know you are in a good place when you genuinely believe your response. And I do. What a privilege to be able to be alive. No matter how you perceive my aging. I’m proud of it.”

Zee’s followers showed their support in the comments section.

“Classy and perfect and true response Ginger!” wrote NBC correspondent Vicky Nguyen, while another follower added, “My morning anchor friend gets old this BS every day by her viewers. You are beautiful and loved, Ginger! We all age. Even the jerks who can’t be nice.”

Zee has been GMA’s chief meteorologist since 2013. In 2016, she was a contestant on the 22nd season of Dancing With the Stars, ultimately finishing in third place alongside partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy

She married journalist Ben Aaron in 2014. The couple share sons Adrian, 9, and Miles, 7. Zee has been candid over the years about the challenges of balancing work and motherhood. 

“Give yourself grace,” Zee told Us Weekly exclusively in September 2018, sharing her advice for other working mothers. “I think that mom guilt starts from the second the baby is born, so that’s going to happen. It’s OK to feel that and let it wash over you, because it’s going to come anyway.”

Zee regularly shares a glimpse of her family life on social media. In late February, she posted a pic of her computer screen — and the sweet message written for her. It read: “I have the best mom ever.”

“Was having an eh morning,” she captioned the February 26 post. “Got to my computer at home to do some more work and this was on my screen. My first surprise message from Miles. They never use computers at home but yesterday he asked if he could practice typing so I set him up and forgot about it. Mood officially shifted ❤one little note can change someone else’s day — never forget that!”

Replying in the comment section, her husband, 43, quipped: “I wrote that.”

Shawn Hatosy Says Chicago P.D.’s Chief Reid Will Use ‘Vulnerable’ Torres

12 March 2025 at 18:00

As Chief Reid and Voight continue to butt heads on Chicago P.D., Torres is going to find himself stuck in the middle, according to actor Shawn Hatosy.

Hatosy, who plays Deputy Chief Charlie Reid on the NBC series, exclusively told Us Weekly that Reid is going to “keep testing their friendship with Voight” for the remainder of season 12.

The actor teased that Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) isn’t going to be as hospitable moving forward. “Voight might be a little bit more resistant because he knows that Reid is an a—,” Hatosy, 49, said with a laugh.

Hatosy added that tension will cause Reid to have to “go around Voight” and “have a relationship” with Dante Torres (Benjamin Levy Aguilar), who is “a little more vulnerable” and “not wise” to Reid’s games.

Shawn Hatosy Teases Reid and Voight’s ‘Chicago P.D.’ Battle Will ‘Blow Up’

“Reid has a scene with a vulnerable Torres, and he asks him to do something, which he then does,” Hatosy explained. “And that just sort of sends Voight sideways.”

He pointed out that Redi is “so damn smart, because he sort of understands where the holes are” and knows Torres could be a weak link.

'Chicago P.D.' Showrunner Teases What to Expect When Season 12 Returns

Hatosy then revealed that like Reid himself, the actor “loves that dynamic” between the chief and Voight, who have been battling over who’s in charge all season.

“This guy comes in season 12 and he’s the boss, you know, he’s Voight’s boss. So he’s like, ‘This isn’t your team. This is my team.’ And I just love using that,” Hatosy explained. “Going into his office and putting my feet on his desk as I can, to see how it affects him. The fans love that, right? They love it when people mess with Voight.”

Earlier this season, Reid revealed that he knew Torres previously had an affair with his CI and that Detective Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) was aware of it at the time.

Reid told Voight that he would look the other way about the incident — which the whole team is now complicit in — but hinted there would be strings attached. Reid also pulled a few strings at the start of the season to keep Burgess on the Intelligence Team after receiving her detective shield, which she told Voight felt fishy.

Will Chicago P.D.’s Burgess Be Voight’s Right Hand After Making Detective?

“To my knowledge, it’s just another card to have in his deck,” Hatosy told Us of Reid’s choice to keep Burgess on Intelligence. “Because she’s pretty clean, right? She doesn’t have anything that she’s trying to, to hide. To me it just seems like, ‘Oh, here’s somebody that I can promote and use as I see fit.’”

During the March 5 episode, Voight told attorney Nina Chapman (Sara Bues) what Reid had on his team and asked for her help to bring him down once and for all.

“They’ve clearly set in motion that they want to take this guy down. I think he’s prepared for that,” Hatosy said, adding that Reid knows what Voight is “capable of” and “how he’s gotten to where he is.”

Nicole Kidman Opens Up About 'Missing' Her Late Parents

12 March 2025 at 17:35

Nicole Kidman paid tribute to her late parents in honor of her mother’s birthday.

“Missing Mumma and Papa so much on what would have been her birthday today ❤,” the actress, 57, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, March 12, alongside a throwback pic of her mom, Janelle Ann, and dad, Antony.

The photograph showed Kidman’s parents as they smiled sweetly for a close-up shot. The pair were seemingly standing in a kitchen area as they huddled next to each other.

Kidman lost her father in 2014 after reportedly suffering a fall at a hotel in Singapore. He was 75 years old. It was later revealed that Antony’s cause of death was due to a heart attack.

Nicole Kidman Addresses Mom's Death: 'I Wish My Mama Was Here'

A decade after her father’s passing, Kidman’s mother died. While attending the Venice International Film Festival in September 2024, Kidman left the event early after learning her mother passed away at age 84. As Kidman rushed home, she ended up winning the Best Actress award for her role in Babygirl.

The film’s director, Halina Reijn, accepted the award on behalf of Kidman and read a statement from the actress.

“Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed,” Reijn, 49, read at the time. “I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me and she made me. I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken.”

After sharing the news of her mother’s passing, the Oscar winner took to social media to thank fans for the support shown to both her and her sister Antonia Kidman during their difficult time.

“My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week,” Nicole wrote in a joint post with her sister, Antonia, 54. “Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express. Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other ❤

Nicole Kidman Dedicates ‘Babygirl’ Award to Late Mom: ‘This Is For You’

Nicole has continued to honor her mother in the wake of her death. During a December 2024 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Nicole revealed the last piece of wisdom she received from her mom.

“The final words my mama said, which I didn’t know were gonna be the final words … I was going to get on a plane and go back to see her. And she was like, ‘Maybe wait a minute because I think you just need to take care of yourself right now, Nicky,’” she recalled. “So, I’m doing that more. And I say that to other people in the world, and particularly women. I think we tend not to take care of ourselves.”

Margaret Josephs Would Be 'Fine' Not Returning for Another 'RHONJ' Season

12 March 2025 at 17:30

While Margaret Josephs would “love to” return for another season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, she can make peace with a different outcome.

“Do I feel sad we’re not filming? It’s a welcome break, I’m not going to lie,” Margaret, 57, exclusively told Us Weekly at the grand opening of Planet Hollywood in New York City on Tuesday, March 11. “It’s relaxing. It’s fun, but, of course, I’d love to go back.”

Margaret has been a staple on RHONJ since 2017’s season 8. She last appeared on the show’s season 14 in 2024 alongside Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider, Jennifer Fessler, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda. Us Weekly confirmed in February that there has been no definitive casting news regarding season 15.

According to Margaret, the perfect cast lineup would consist of “my friends and some new people thrown in.”

Inside What’s Going on With ‘RHONJ’ Season 15 Casting

“I love everybody to work and have a successful career. I think some friendships have gone past where they belong. And you know what? If it’s not me, then that’s fine too,” she added on Tuesday. “I have a beautiful life.”

When asked further how she would feel about a potential season 15 exclusion, Margaret said, “If that’s what the Bravo Gods want, that’s fine for me. I’ve had a great ride.”

Margaret has also stayed “very close” to costars Melissa, 45, Dolores, 54, Rachel, 33, Jennifer Fessler, 57, and Danielle, 39. Jennifer Fessler and Danielle, for their parts, also stepped out at the Planet Hollywood opening on Tuesday and gave Us their takes on the RHONJ break.

“I miss the fun of it; the little glimpse of fun that was there. It’s always fun to shoot,” Danielle told Us in a separate interview on Tuesday. “But, I hope the dynamics change. I hope I get something better to work with!”

According to Danielle, she would want everyone to return for season 15 “except for three.”

'RHONJ' Stars Share Their Honest Thoughts About the Show's Future

“We’re Jersey girls. We could play and have a little fun, but let’s not go for the jugular,” Danielle said, without naming which Housewives should be on the chopping block if she had a say.

Jennifer Fessler, meanwhile, revealed to Us on the red carpet that she would “only go back as a friend.”

“Yes, I would go back, honey,” Jennifer Fessler quipped. “I’d go back as the person who does craft services.”

Jennifer Fessler further teased how the group’s dynamics have shifted since “that insane, ridiculous [and] over-the-top finale.

“I think things have gone as you would’ve expected after that,” she stated. “I mean, I think things were pretty clear, right? I don’t think anyone expected Margaret and Theresa to mend fences — certainly not Melissa and Theresa. I don’t think Danielle and Jen [Aydin] were destined to be friends. I think that was sort of written in the cards and the start.”

Floyd Mayweather Denies Dodging Jake Paul, Criticizes Him for Tyson Fight

12 March 2025 at 17:08

Floyd Mayweather balked at Jake Paul’s claim that he’s dodging their fight, insisting he’s eager to get in the ring with the social media superstar.

“We offered Jake Paul the fight probably 10 or 20 times and he turned us down,” said Mayweather, who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly while promoting his 101 (ONE OF ONE) line of premium natural supplements. “So that’s bulls—.”

Rumors about a boxing match between Mayweather, 48, and Paul, 28, have circulated for years. The speculation picked up further steam during Mayweather’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month, when the undefeated boxer said a fight against Paul would be “easy.”

Days later, Paul released a YouTube vlog alleging Mayweather “wouldn’t sign” their fight contract, but Mayweather insists that it’s actually been Paul who has refused to put ink on the dotted line.

Ring Girl From Tyson/Paul Fight Says Instagram DMs Have Been 'Flooded'

When asked about the claim that Mayweather and his team wanted Paul to cut weight down to 160, which Paul called “physically impossible,” Mayweather had a solution for that.

“Well, we can do an exhibition,” he offered to Us. “We know we can’t do a real fight because it’s not going to be sanctioned because of the weight difference. But we could do an exhibition. That’s easy work, super easy.”

Mayweather previously fought Paul’s older brother, Logan Paul, in an exhibition boxing match in 2021. The non-scored bout went all eight rounds and no winner was announced. 

Jake, meanwhile, last entered the ring against legendary boxer Mike Tyson, a fight that streamed live on Netflix in November 2024. Jake ultimately defeated Tyson, 58, by unanimous decision — but Mayweather was less than impressed. 

“Mike Tyson was a 60-year-old man,” Mayweather told Us. “He’s an old man. Mike Tyson is enjoying his life. It is what it is.”

Despite his beef with some of the Paul brothers’ gamesmanship and tactics, Mayweather credited them for their work ethic. 

“One thing about Jake Paul and Logan Paul, we can’t knock their hustle,” Mayweather said. “I take my hat off. I like how they hustle.”

Chicago Fire’s Miranda Rae Mayo on If Stella or Severide Will Be Bad Cop Parent

12 March 2025 at 17:00

Chicago Fire’s Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide don’t have a child yet, but actress Miranda Rae Mayo already has an idea of how they’ll parent.

“I do think Stella would be the bad cop for sure,” Mayo, 34, who plays firefighter Kidd, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting season 13 of the NBC series.

She teased, “I think Kelly presents a stoic [exterior], but he would melt whenever his offspring was asking for something of him. He’d be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stella just give it to him.’”

At the end of season 12 of Chicago Fire, Severide (Taylor Kinney) told Kidd he was ready to start a family, which took her by surprise.

Chicago Fire’s Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd’s Relationship Timeline

During season 13, which premiered in September 2024, Kidd revealed that she wants to be a mom and proposed going the adoption route since her aunt basically adopted and raised her as a kid.

“Stella is in love with Kelly. I don’t think she ever was a woman who wanted to be married. I don’t think she ever envisioned that type of, you know, wife and kids type of life for herself,” Mayo told Us, noting that Kidd’s relationship with Severide is what swayed her to change her tune.

The actress explained, “She met this man and fell in love with this man and was like, ‘Hey, wherever you’re going, I’m going.’ We’re doing it together.”

While Mayo noted that Severide brought up the idea of expanding their family “much sooner” than Kidd was initially ready for, they have since gotten on the same page.

During season 13, episode 15, which aired on March 5, Kidd and Severide met with an adoption agency and, after a few hiccups at Firehouse 51, they were approved. It’s unclear whether the couple will become parents this season but, until then, Mayo told Us she’s enjoying the ride acting alongside Kinney, 43.

“I love working with him. My experience of working with Taylor is he’s a very present person,” Mayo revealed. “When we’re doing [a scene], I think neither one of us ever really knows what’s gonna happen.”

She said after 10 seasons together they have “a lot of fun.” (Mayo joined Chicago Fire during season 4 in 2016, while Kinney has been part of the series since its 2012 premiere.)

Mayo added, “Sometimes it just works. I feel really lucky to be in this duo with him and I’m really grateful that it works and that it continues to work.”

Chicago Fire returns with new episodes on NBC Wednesday, March 26, at 9 p.m. ET.

I Only Wear Thongs — And This 5-Star Pick Is So Comfy, You’ll Forget You’re Wearing Underwear

12 March 2025 at 17:00

I hate to make generalizations, but I bet that every woman has experienced a thong catastrophe in their life. Dealing with an extra-tight, uncomfortable thong is almost like a rite of passage. Despite the thong stereotypes, these undergarments aren’t supposed to feel itchy or painful. Take it from someone who only wears thongs (me). There are options that are so silky, comfy and lightweight that you completely forget you’re wearing underwear, like the Voenxe Seamless Thongs.

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love these thongs. In fact, over 50,000 Amazon shoppers swear that this pick will change your life and erase any bad memories of thongs past. Made with breathable, stretchy nylon, these panties mesh perfectly to the curves of your body and move with you, whether you’re sitting at your desk all day or working up a sweat at the gym.

These Comfy Seamless Undies Feel Like You're Wearing Nothing

In fact, if you’ve been struggling to find underwear for working out, these could be your winner. Nylon is a naturally sweat-wicking fabric, so these manage to keep you feeling fresh after intense spin classes or balmy hikes. Through it all, the seamless design remains completely invisible — even when you wear skin-tight leggings and shorts.

At $13, each pair in the five-pack costs roughly $2.50, and you get the choice between 10 colors and patterns. I say you can never own too many black thongs, but shoppers also love the neutral pack and the wildly fun leopard print option. Although aesthetics aren’t the most important aspect, there’s no denying you feel a bit more confident when you love the look of your underwear.

And while it might seem impossible to truly fall in love with a thong, thousands of people have. “These are hands down the most comfortable thongs I’ve ever worn,” one happy customer wrote. “The fabric is incredibly soft and breathable, making them perfect for all-day wear. The seamless design is fantastic — there’s no visible panty line, even under tight or form-fitting clothes, which is exactly what I was looking for.”

You can also release all fears about these undergarments digging into your skin. “The fit is true to size, and the waistband doesn’t dig in, making them feel like second skin,” the same reviewer added. “I also appreciate how lightweight and smooth they are, and they stay in place without riding up. The 5-pack is a great value, and the colors are versatile and cute.”

At such an affordable price, you might as well get a few packs and stock up. No one should have to deal with uncomfortable underwear. When you have Voenxe Seamless Thongs, it will always be smooth sailing.

Wendy Williams' Brother Says She’s in 'Great Shape Mentally and Physically'

12 March 2025 at 16:57

Wendy Williams’ close family and friends continue to rally around the former talk show host amid her guardianship.

“She is in great shape mentally and physically,” Wendy’s brother Tommy Williams exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 12. “Let her out.”

Since May 2022, Wendy, 60, has been living under a legal guardianship that oversees both her finances and health. Speculation surrounding the former radio host’s well-being and absence from the public eye led to a 2024 Lifetime documentary titled Where Is Wendy Williams?

This week, however, Us Weekly confirmed that Wendy was transported from her assisted living facility to a New York hospital “for evaluation” after police were called to do a wellness check.

Wendy Williams Says She Passed Competency Tests With ‘Flying Colors’

Wendy later appeared on The Breakfast Club and said she underwent competency tests, which she claimed to pass with “flying colors.”

According to her brother, Wendy’s ability to pass those recent tests is a positive step forward.

“Now she has some direction and understanding of her functional abilities and cognizant abilities,” Tommy told Us. “It’s a win for Wendy, a big one. And she did it herself. It also shows she is fluid with her thoughts and actions.”

Wendy’s friend Ginalia Monterrosa — who accompanied the media personality to the hospital this week — recently sent a letter to Adult Protective Services formally requesting a probe into what she saw as “troubling circumstances” surrounding Wendy’s treatment.

In an exclusive interview with Us, Monterrosa — who is part of Connect Care Advisory Groupsaid those closest to Wendy are “just figuring out next steps of what’s going to happen.”

Everything Wendy Williams Has Said About Diddy Over the Years

“She is letting the public know it is unfair, it is unjust,” Monterrosa said of Wendy’s recent interviews. “She doesn’t need to be in a guardianship. She is not incapacitated. She will continue to voice her opinion.”

According to Monterrosa, Wendy is not allowed to have a cell phone at the facility she is residing in. Instead, she has a landline in her room that allows her to make outgoing calls, but doesn’t allow any to come in.

“We’d love for her to be in an unrestrictive environment — even at another facility — where she has freedom to come in and out, see her friends, people can call her, she can have an iPad, she can use a two-way phone — not just [a] one way [phone],” Monterrosa explained to Us. “[She has] the freedom to go to the store and supermarket, to go to the gym, to have a life and the things we take for granted.”

Before a judge makes a ruling in regards to Wendy’s guardianship, the former talk show host is expected to speak out on the Friday, March 14, episode of The View.

Those closest to Wendy hope good news is coming soon.

“It’s a wait and see,” Tommy said. “We want to root Wendy on. We watch and listen and cheer her on. And we are praying.”

Even Skincare Snobs Love This $24 Drugstore Retinol Oil

12 March 2025 at 16:30

It’s no secret that retinol is a powerhouse ingredient with a laundry list of benefits, from turning back the skin’s clock to reducing acne breakouts. But while many retinol skin products cost over $30, only a handful produce the visible, life-changing results they promise. This popular pick from Neutrogena is one that stays true to its word — and it’s 42% off today!

The Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Oil reduces the look of deep wrinkles, combats signs of aging and minimizes dark spots and blemishes — all in as little as one week. It may seem too good to be true, but the secret is in the oil’s effective formula, which includes a small 0.3% dose of retinol, a.k.a. a form of vitamin A. Such a small amount ensures the product is gentle on the skin and makes it an excellent choice for retinol newbies. The oil is also lightweight, so it absorbs fast and never leaves behind an annoying greasy finish.

Get the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Oil for $24 (originally $41) at Amazon!

Kyle Richards Swears by This Face Mask That Makes Wrinkles 'Much Smoother'

Since Neutrogena’s retinol oil is so affordable and effective, it’s no surprise that over 3,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased a bottle this month alone. The pick has also earned over 6,600 five-star ratings, with one reviewer stating it gave them “smooth, youthful skin” in a few short weeks.

“The Neutrogena Retinol Face Oil is my new go-to product for fighting signs of aging. After using it for a few weeks, I can already see a noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and appearance,” they continued. “This serum has worked wonders on my fine lines and dark spots. I’ve noticed a reduction in wrinkles and a more even skin tone, which is exactly what I was hoping for.”

Even those who haven’t taken skincare seriously in the past have noticed major changes after use.

“I am 69 and have never taken good care of my skin,” one person admitted. “It is a little late, but I decided to start a regimen. I have tried a number of products. Some irritated my skin and others just plain didn’t work. All were very expensive. I picked this product because the price was better and I trust the name Neutrogena. I am glad I did because after a few weeks of use, I started noticing a difference. And it does not irritate my skin.”

While this popular retinol oil is always a budget-friendly pick compared to others on the market, it’s 42% off today, making it just $42! However, all good things must come to an end, so hurry and stock up while the deal is still available!

Tamra Judge Addresses Her ‘RHOC’ Future After Claiming She Quit the Show

12 March 2025 at 16:09

Tamra Judge is elaborating on her The Real Housewives of Orange County future after claiming she was quitting the show.

On the Wednesday,  March 12, episode of her and Teddi Mellencamp’s “iHeartRadio’s Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, Judge, 57, elaborated during a chat with Dolores Catania regarding her recent claims that she quit RHOC while filming season 19.

“I think I just hit a wall. There’s so much going on in my life and it’s just I don’t know,’ Judge reflected while admitting that’s she’s been going to therapy as she is struggling with some “personal things.”

She continued: “I just just hit a wall and I feel like I’m gonna be in a full depressed mode.”

‘Real Housewives’ Cast Members Who Have Quit While Filming the Show

Judge explained that this year has not been off to a good start for her recently and she can’t get out of the funk she’s been in despite seeking professional help.

“I’m just so mad at myself because I feel like I just can’t pull myself out of the funk. Well, I’m usually pretty good of just pulling myself out, and I’ve been saying it for a while now,” she said. “I just can’t pull myself out of this. I
can’t pull myself out of this. And it was just 2025 has been a real doozy. It’s just been one thing after another.”

Judge shared that she went into filming this season of RHOC amid her personal struggles. However, it all got to be too much for her.

“I went into the season not knowing, not sure, very anxious and just dealing with some stuff through therapy, and
you know that really breaks you down to your lowest point,” she admitted. “I’m like, ‘Should I just quit?
Because it’s just I feel like it’s breaking me down.'”

Judge added that Mellencamp’s health issues have also taken a heavy toll on her. However, her podcast cohost has still been by her side through this rough patch.

“Teddi gave me a pep talk and that is like the first time I’ve laughed in so long. Like, we laughed, and she just yelled at me and said, ‘Listen to me, I have to be bald and fat right now and going through this. You get your ass back over there,'” she recalled. “I just started laughing. So I think I’m going to see her today. I think that’s gonna pull little bit of spark back into me.”

Catania then addressed the speculation that Judge had exited RHOC, telling Judge, “The word on the street is you just need a little break.”

Judge, for her part, agreed that was the case.

“Yeah. When I get like this, my body just shuts down, It just completely shuts down,” she said. “And I can
just sit in one place and just stare at the wall for hours. And that’s how I feel and it’s really hard to film like that when you feel like that.”

Earlier this week, Judge sent fans into a frenzy when she hinted at her exit from the Bravo reality show.

“It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality s— doesn’t make sense,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, March 9. “Peace out … I’m out.”

Judge then shared an Instagram Story selfie on Monday, March 10, alongside the caption, “Mental health is health.”

Following Judge’s cryptic messages, she weighed in on the comments section of a fan account speculating about the details of her apparent departure.

“#TamraJudge just posted this?? The cast is currently in New Orleans on their cast trip. 🎥🍊 Is Tamra quitting??” the Instagram account wrote, referring to a screenshot of Judge’s Instagram Story. Judge subsequently reacted, appearing to confirm the theory of her exit by commenting, “Yes!!!”

Everything We Know About ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ Season 19

The fan account then replied to Judge’s comment, asking, “Tamra what’s going on??” while other viewers begged her to stay on the show.

Although Bravo has yet to announce the season 19 cast, Gretchen Rossi was previously confirmed to return as a “friend,” and Judge was recently spotted filming in New Orleans with Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Katie Ginella, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti and Emily Simpson.

Amid the drama, Andy Cohen remained tight-lipped about Judge’s future on RHOC.

“I got the report of what happened last night,” Cohen, 56, said during the Monday episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “All I will say is this. I can’t comment on what’s going on while we’re filming shows.”

Former ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

Judge has been a cast member on RHOC since season 3 in 2007. She briefly left the show after season 14 in 2019 but later returned as a full-time Housewife in season 17, which premiered in 2023.

The RHOC ordeal comes as Judge supports her friend and podcast cohost, Mellencamp, 43, following her recent surgery to remove multiple brain tumors. Judge asserted during the February 19 episode of their podcast that it was “not my place” to offer updates on Mellencamp’s health and grew emotional when she said, “All I can do is pray on her and love her like all of her friends are doing.”

Prince William Jokingly Wishes He 'Had Hair Like' Local He Met on Walkabout

12 March 2025 at 15:31

As Prince William greeted locals outside England’s Aspray Arena, he was stunned to see one resident with bright red locks.

“Look at your hair! It’s fantastic,” William, 42, jokingly quipped on Tuesday, March 11, during a walkabout, per social media footage. “I wish I had hair like that, amazing!”

According to William, he “has the Charles.” (The Prince of Wales is the eldest son of King Charles III and his late ex-wife, Princess Diana.)

William visited an FA Referee Training Course at Aspray, which is the home of Sporting Khalsa FC in Willenhall, England. The visit was part of the prince’s duties as patron of the Football Association to highlight its “Reflective and Representative” campaign to recruit more individuals of color as referees.

Prince William Weaves In Hair Loss Joke While Discussing Earthshot Prize

William, who debuted a scruffy goatee in summer 2024, has long been a good sport when it comes to his receding hairline.

“I don’t know if you guys have heard about the Earthshot Prize, but it’s an initiative I started about two years ago now, but it’s been about four years in the making,” he quipped in a July 2023 YouTube video. “I had hair when it started.”

Several months earlier, William’s brother, Prince Harry, made a pointed dig at his sibling’s hairline in his Spare memoir. Harry, 40, wrote about William’s “alarming baldness” and quipped that his resemblance to Diana was “fading with time.”

“In some ways he was my mirror, in some ways he was my opposite,” Harry wrote in the book published January 2023. “My beloved brother, my archnemesis, how had that happened?”

Harry later defended writing about Williams’ hair loss.

“I don’t see it as cutting at all,” Harry said in a 60 Minutes sit-down. “My brother and I love each other. I love him deeply. None of anything I’ve written, anything that I’ve included is ever intended to hurt my family.”

William and Harry have been estranged since the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their duties as senior working royals in 2020. William, meanwhile, has not publicly addressed the alleged falling-out or Spare accusations.

12 March 2025 at 15:15

Transitioning back to regularly working from the office has been a total slog. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to socialize with coworkers, but I’m so miserable when I’m not in my cozy sweatsuits. If only it were socially acceptable to wear loungewear to work!

Former En Vogue Singer Dawn Robinson Has Been Living in Her Car for 3 Years

12 March 2025 at 15:14

by Tommaso Boddi/WireImage

Former En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson has fallen on hard times.

“For the past three — almost three years, I have been living in my car,” Robinson, 58, said in a YouTube video uploaded on Tuesday, March 11. “I said it. Oh my God.”

Robinson explained that in 2020 she was living with her parents in Las Vegas. She claimed that after experiencing some tension with her mother, she decided to leave the home.

“I can’t deal with this. I respect her too much. I didn’t understand it. I still don’t and it hurt me,” she reflected on her decision to leave her parents’ house. “I was just trying to figure it out but I couldn’t … you can’t read someone else’s mind and you can’t figure them out.”

Donna D’Errico Reflects on Being Homeless Before Starring in ‘Baywatch’

When Robinson moved out, she was sleeping in her car for “about a month in Vegas.” Robinson’s manager at the time encouraged her to come back to Los Angeles where he lived. As the temperatures in Las Vegas started to increase, she decided to go back since she “loved” living in Los Angeles.

Robinson then claimed that her former manager offered to let Robinson stay with him until she got back on her feet. However, both he and Robinson had dogs and there wasn’t enough space in his place for two people and two canines. As a result, the manager volunteered to get her a hotel where she ended up staying for “eight months”

While Robinson looked for a place to live, she said the manager offered to help her and attend listings with her — but didn’t follow through. When she asked him for his thoughts, she said he allegedly found something wrong with each housing option.

“I’m trying to make this easier on you because financially I know it’s got to be hard,” she said she told her former manager in the video. “You’re paying rent and you’re paying my hotel.”

After finding no success on the home front, Robinson said she decided to research car life and was impressed with the lifestyle.

“There’s a whole community of people who live in their cars and a whole community of people who live in their RVs and a whole community of people who live in their vans,” she reflected. “And I loved what I was seeing. I just thought, ‘Wow, these people. I could do this, I think.’”

Robinson left the hotel for good in 2022 and took her car up to Malibu. While she said she found the first night to be “scary,” Robinson had no regrets about her decision and she ended up getting comfortable as she learned the ins and outs of car life, including how to cover her windows and being selective of the information she shared with others around her.

“I felt free,” she shared. “That was a sense of freedom that I had. I was so free.”

Robinson claimed that many people encouraged her not to be so candid about her current living situation, fearing it would lead to public judgment. For Robinson, she said she wasn’t worried about others’ perception of her lifestyle.

“Nobody has stepped or walked five steps in my stilettos,” she said. “It’s real and it’s OK. Part of being human is to be vulnerable.”

Instead, she opted to be honest, hoping to inspire others.

“My aim is to inspire and let people know that you’re capable of anything no matter what the odds are against you,” she said.

Robinson was an on-and-off member of the girl group En Vogue. She joined the band when they formed in 1989. Robinson first exited En Vogue in 1997. In 2002, she returned before leaving again in 2008 for a solo music career.

PK Kemsley Teases ‘RHOBH’ Future After Separating From Wife Dorit

12 March 2025 at 15:13

Paul “PK” Kemsley has found it difficult to watch episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills surrounding his separation from wife Dorit Kemsley.

“It’s a super tough situation. The reality is it’s kind of reality, but it’s not reality,” PK, 57, exclusively told Us Weekly at the grand opening of New York City’s Planet Hollywood on Tuesday, March 11. “It gets mixed up. It gets edited. We say things, they don’t come out exactly as they were said. If you missed the sentence before, it changes the meaning, but we’re navigating it.”

He added, “Listen, we have to own the fact we did it. So this is our world and yeah, we’re OK.”

Dorit, 48, and PK announced in May 2024 that they were taking time apart after nine years of marriage. At the time, they still planned to amicably coparent son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9. While neither Dorit nor PK have yet to formally file for divorce, their breakup has remained a staple of conversation throughout RHOBH season 14.

Dorit Kemsley Says 'Things Don't Stay Amicable' With PK on 'RHOBH'

“It’s tough because we’re [now] relieving what was 10 months ago,” he said on Tuesday. “It’s tough, but we’re getting through it.”

According to PK, he and Dorit go through both “good places” and “bad places.”

“We’re going through what every couple goes through,” he said, “It’s not easy, but it’s not horrible either. She’s still Dorit [and] is still fabulous. She’s very chic!”

While Dorit is a main cast member on RHOBH, PK last appeared on a season 14 episode to meet up with Mauricio Umansky  — who himself is separated from fellow Housewife Kyle Richards — for lunch. Despite the brief cameo, PK isn’t looking to make another appearance this season.

While the British real estate developer is no longer interested in appearing on RHOBH episodes, he’s not barring Dorit — or the kids — from their own reality TV future.

“I’ll support Dorit wherever I can,” PK stressed, further noting that Jagger and Phoenix are “doing good.”

“They’re happy,” PK told Us. “We’re working together with the kids. We took them to Disney and we celebrate the birthdays together, so that’s all good.”

In between coparenting duties, PK stepped out to support Planet Hollywood’s CEO, Robert Earl, at the grand opening of the Times Square location.

“Robert is a very dear friend of mine [and] Jagger’s godfather,” PK gushed. “We’re excited to be here. It’s such a legacy brand, isn’t it? … I didn’t even know him when it first came out, [but] I met Robert about 20 years ago and we’ve become super close. I’m absolutely delighted to be here.”
